Traveling abroad to Asia can be a great experience. Safety should always be a priority anywhere you go. Many people forget about safety while traveling. While most people have no problems, theft and other types of crime do that place. There are precautions you can take to help ensure a safe trip. Make a list of your traveler’s checks with the amounts and serial numbers. Make sure you write down the name and phone number of the instantiation who issued them. Keep this list in your hotel room or other safe place separate from the actual traveler’s checks. It will make replacing them faster and easier. You may consider leaving a list of this information with a reliable person at home for security as well.

Think safety while packing. Dress basic and conservatively. Don’t take expensive items of clothing or jewelry with you. Such items may attract thieves putting you at risk of being robbed or seriously injured.

Do not take cash with you on your trip. Instead, take travelers checks and two credit cards. It is a good idea to keep one credit card on you, and leave one in your hotel room. This way if you lose it or get robbed, you will have another type of funds available quickly. Carry your wallet in your front pocket for saver keeping. For women, place your purse strap over your shoulder and across your neck to the other side as added protection from having it snatched.

If possible carry an extra pair of glasses and extra medications. Pack them in separate bags from each other. If some of your luggage is lost, then you will still have these important items. It is recommended that you take all medications in their original bottles with your doctor’s instructions in case any such items appear to be questionable. It is a good idea to make a copy of your passport in case your original gets lost or stolen.

It is a good idea to travel with at least one other person. If you do travel alone, make sure someone knows your itinerary including all places you intend to visit. The more detailed the better. Check in at least twice per day. This will make getting assistance to you much easier if such a need should arise. Consider paying extra to stay at a hotel that is in a well lit area with security in place.
